Hair Laminator

 Permanent Hairstyling spray

For those steadfast women who wear the same do every day, why not make a hair laminator spray! It operates like normal hair spray, only doesn't wash out! Simply reapply when the roots grow out! This can be a solution to men's hair loss as well--if it is laminated, it won't fall out!

Hair Lamination http://howfacecare....lamination-at-home/
Apparently hair lamination is an actual thing, but possibly not the same thing as this idea [hippo, Oct 27 2017]

       It could be a 'look' I suppose - having your head varnished...

Also, (belated) welcome to the Halfbakery!

       welcome to the Halfbakery Kate

       [Kate] joined the Halfbakery on November 28 2000, posted this and one other idea that day, and was never heard from again.

       Hmm. She was probably freaked out by the overwhelming response.

       I'm not sure how this is that different from lacquer.

       According to the third link:   

       "You should try to avoid it [the laminating solution] getting on the scalp, it can cause burning, itching, and subsequent peeling."   

       and   

       "either the hair is heated, or the head is simply wrapped in polyethylene (a bag, food film)"   

       I am curious as to whether anyone survives this process.
—MaxwellBuchanan, Oct 27 2017
   

       Curious, but - as usual - not concerned.   

       And thus scientific knowledge advances.

       It probably makes people lose hair in the long run, which is one reason I've only had a haircut once this millenium. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

       There is also a vacuum cleaner idea to suck up all of that unlaminated hair. This is all anyone needs in their creative life, so having invented these two perfectly complimentary ideas, the genius Kate simply vanished, like matter meeting antimatter.
